Depends upon your head. Standard can fits the 8lb with the 2.7 head. Cave can will fit the 8lb with a Meg 15/Tiburon head.

Use whatever loop caps and bungs you can to break it down into sections. On the Inspo, for example, one of the head loop hoses will actually thread to both t-pieces, cutting out the canister. Use caps or bugs in the t-pieces to isolate the lungs. Things like that. If it's a strong fail, you...

I believe one of the thoughts for cave purposes was to run the dilout slightly "hot" (as far as dil goes), so if you have to bail way back in a cave, you're not racking up a lot more deco by bailing out. I think that also goes with the "shut down o2 feed and breathe down a hot loop" solution...

Jeez, that sounds awful. Post that story in another thread sometime. Post some pics and prices of the lid, I'm certainly interested. Cheers, Jim

I'm fairly certain the classic is not upgradeable to vision or to vision 2020. I think long ago (circa 2006-2007ish?), when the vision electronics first came out, you could get a classic head refitted with vision electronics, but that option has been gone for at least a decade. You can always...

Try putting on a new lid oring, just to be sure? There have been a handful of posts over the years on the apd divers Facebook group, that seem to indicate the culprit may be a crack in the lid itself. Hopefully that's not the case with yours, as it seems to be a pricy trip back to the factory to...

Honestly, I'm interested because I already have an Inspo (actually 2, if you count the classic) that's not getting much love. This would be an interesting way to put it to use. I think there's some added value using the Inspo because there are plenty of third party mods--for example, you could...

Wow, I completely missed that. You'd think with a video like that, they'd link it to their product page or feature it on Facebook. I didn't think to dig through youtube, since most people just use that as a place to host videos to share on FB or their website. It does seem really tempting...

I check their Facebook page every now and then. There are a few more pictures or video clips where they're using it, but nothing really meant to feature the unit, configuration, etc. Looks like they now also make a carbon fiber one, but there's still a lack of a manual, setup pics, etc. I'd...

Honestly, the "must have" upgrade is a Narked at 90 external monitoring kit, with a (computer of your choice) monitoring the 3 cells via Fischer cable and calculating inline deco. A nerd2 would be really slick, especially since the classic doesn't have a HUD. Maybe go with a different frame...

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. To upgrade a mono vision to 2020, you send the whole lid in, they replace the pertinent electronics, and return the upgraded lid. You do not get the old electronics back, so there isn't a surplus of cheap, unwanted vision electronics out there. There are...

There's a Russian group that does a sidemount Inspo, called TDE. Can find them online (tde-rus) or on FB. They might be worth checking out. Jim

Pics and prices. Interested... Jim

Why not just use a shorter hose to run from the left post, inside the T-piece (or through a bungee loop on the T-piece) and down the loop? Seems like it’d be the same for any left-hand OC feed BOV on most rebreathers, as dil is on the left anyways, save that you’d have it coming down from a post...

If you end up selling things separately, I’m interested in the ATS lungs.
